Roland, since even before MS was elected, he has been threatening members
with lawsuits apparently as a form of intimidation. His recent  comments
directly state he intends to destroy POCA as an organization, I assume for
his own pleasure or personal gain. I was not present on the call and did
not hear the context of such a ban, but if any one person's actions were to
not warrant such an outcome of being banned, what other behavior would have
to take place before it would reach that level? That is an open question
for everybody to decide personally.

Is it more civil to degrade and intimidate in order to get others to quit
or to set standards for expected behavior and let those standards apply to
all members? The third option is to allow toxic behavior to fracture the
club which is what has been happening the past 7 months.

MS added me to his list of people to sue  along the way as I was called a
"Backstabbing Motherf$!@er". I can live with those petty threats, I just
choose not to.  Setting standards of decency that do not allow bullying and
threats seems like a good idea to me, but I am just one opinion.

   Roland, since even before MS was elected, he has been threatening
   members
   with lawsuits apparently as a form of intimidation. His recent
   comments
   directly state he intends to destroy POCA as an organization, I assume
   for
   his own pleasure or personal gain. I was not present on the call and
   did
   not hear the context of such a ban, but if any one person's actions
   were to
   not warrant such an outcome of being banned, what other behavior would
   have
   to take place before it would reach that level? That is an open
   question
   for everybody to decide personally.
   Is it more civil to degrade and intimidate in order to get others to
   quit
   or to set standards for expected behavior and let those standards apply
   to
   all members? The third option is to allow toxic behavior to fracture
   the
   club which is what has been happening the past 7 months.
   MS added me to his list of people to sue  along the way as I was called
   a
   "Backstabbing Motherf$!@er". I can live with those petty threats, I
   just
   choose not to.  Setting standards of decency that do not allow bullying
